2 Claims; (01. 101-391) This invention relates to a. lock-up set, the

, primary object ofv the invention being to provide a lock-up set designed for holding type forms, such as Linotype slugs, cuts or the like at various angular positions with respect to the side members of the printers chase, in which thelock-up set is positioned. I

. An important object of the invention is to provide an angular lock-up set.or lock-up furniture 1 constructed in such a way that it may be securely locked in the usual printers chase, eliminating the necessity of making changes in the chase construction now in common use, to position the lock-up set. a Another important object of the invention is to provide a lock-up set for positioning within a chase, which may be readily and easily operated to adjust the angular position of the slug, cut or printing form held therein, without the necessity go of removing the'lock-up set or printing form held therein. With the foregoing and other objects in view,

which will appear as the description proceeds,

Figure 2 is a perspective view of one of ;the'

outer sections of the lock-up set..

Figure 3 is a-perspective view of one of the inner sections of the lock-up set.

Referring to th 40 printer's chase is indicated generally by the reference character 5, which chase provides a frame for the blocks 6, forming a part of the lock-up furniture employed in securing the type or printing matter, in position in the frame.

The lock up furniture also includes inner blocks '1 which are spaced from 'thjeblocks 6, by means of the quoins 8 usually employed in lock-up furniture for exerting pressure on the type matter held within the chase.

The lock-up set forming the essence'of the present invention, includes an inner frame 'embodylng outer sections 9 and inner sections Ill,

drawing in detail, the usual the outer sections having right-angled outer surfaces ll against which the inner blocks of the lock-up set, engages.

The outer sections 9 are formed with. inner curved surfaces l2 curved in the arc of a circle, (a and designed to conform to the curvature of the outer surfaces l3 of the inner sections In. As shown, the -inner sections II! have right angled inner surfaces I so constructed that they will accommodate the right angled surfaces or cor- 10 ners of the slug, cut, or similar type supporting member positioned-within the device.

Graduations indicated at 5 are formed on one edge of one of the outer sections 9, the graduations cooperating with indicator I6 carried by 1 1 readily-removed and accurately replaced, should it be necessary to make corrections in the type matter. i

I claim:

., 1. A holder for holding type forms in predetermined angular positions within a printer's chase, comprising an outer sectional member and an inner sectional member, the inner sectional curved surfaces, and means for securing the 1 holder within a printer's chase.

, 2. A holder for holding type forms in predetermined angular positions within a printer's chase, comprising a frame, embodying an outer member and an inner member, the outer member embodying a plurality of sections, said inner member comprising a plurality of sections, the outer sections having right angular outer surfaces and curved inner surfaces, the sections of 5 the inner member having curved outer surfaces and rectangular inner surfaces and adapted to fit over the corners of the type formpositioned therein, a chase in which the holder ispositioned, and means for securing the holder within: the

chase. I
